HALLE, GERMANY. (THECOUNT) — The young caucasian male suspect who attacked a synagogue in the Germany city of Halle Wednesday – filmed his attack – broadcasting the horror footage on Twitch, a platform popular with video gamers.
Multiple rounds were fired from a sub-machine type weapon Wednesday killing a woman and one other person. Several other people were injured in the attack. The extent of their injuries was not provided.
The video shows the alleged suspect, a young white male, driving to his chosen location, alone. He speaks to a camera, positioned on the passenger seat, and says, in English, “Hi, my name is Anon,” using a name that 4chan and 8chan users often call themselves. “I think the Holocaust never happened,” reports VICE on Wednesday.
A hand grenade was also reportedly thrown.
Police in Halle warned the perpetrator was fleeing in a car, and warned people in a tweet to “please stay in their apartments or find safe places.”
